Beschreibung

This vintage book contains volume eighteen of Oscar Levy¿s ¿The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche¿. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) was a German philosopher, poet, composer, and scholar. He wrote numerous critical essays on morality, culture, philosophy, science, and religion - radically questioning the value and objectivity of truth. Oscar Levy (1867 - 1946) was a German Jewish physician and writer, famed for his Friedrich Nietzsche scholarship. Many antiquarian texts such as this, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Autor

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, born on October 15, 1844, in Röcken, Prussia, was a German philosopher and classical philologist whose ideas profoundly influenced modern intellectual history. At 24, he became the youngest individual to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in Switzerland. However, due to persistent health issues, he resigned in 1879 and dedicated the next decade to his philosophical writings.Nietzsche's work is characterized by a radical critique of traditional values and a deep exploration of human existence. He introduced influential concepts such as the ""will to power,"" the ""Übermensch,"" and the proclamation that ""God is dead,"" challenging the foundations of religion, morality, and culture. His distinctive style, marked by aphorisms and irony, set his writings apart from those of his contemporaries.In 1889, Nietzsche suffered a mental collapse, leading to a complete loss of his cognitive faculties, likely due to vascular dementia. He spent his remaining years under the care of his mother and later his sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, until his death on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, Germany. Posthumously, his sister edited and published his works, sometimes controversially, influencing the interpretation and reception of his philosophy.
